[eric at mathPlayPen eric]$ export PATH="$PATH:/opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/bin" [eric at mathPlayPen eric]$ export JAVA_HOME=/opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib [eric at mathPlayPen eric]$ /usr/bin/jedit /usr/bin/jedit: line 13: /opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib/bin/java: No such file or directory /usr/bin/jedit: line 13: exec: /opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib/bin/java: cannot execute: No such file or directory [eric at mathPlayPen eric]$ i don't understand the first problem because there IS a file called java in /opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib/bin/ isn't that what it's looking for? mmmnnn... i'll search around some more and try out some shots in the dark prior to posting again. thanks for any ideas, eric. -- Bohr, Niels Henrik David (1885-1962) An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes, which can be made, in a very narrow field.
